    Was there a warranty provided by the dealer?
    Yes, a limited warranty that covered the fuel pump replacement. Hopefully it'll cover some of the other work that needs to be done...

    maybe a dumb question, but did you replace the fuel filter as well? I know that caused bucking in another car I had.

    Remember that life is not measured in the breaths you take, but rather in the moments that take your breath away.

    No, but looks like the dealer already replaced it as its quite new -- I'd guess less than a month or two old. Think I should go ahead and replace it?

    ...could they have lied about replacing it? It's such a cheap item, I'd replace it again. With the bucking stopping when your tank is full, I have to defer to the more experienced gang here.
    Hope it works out for you, I know this takes away from that new car giddy feeling...but it should be resolved pretty soon I'd think.
